Default what do you keep your heat at?

unlike my old apartment, where the thermostat was broken and it'd be 85º everyday in the winter, with the windows open, we have to control the heat at my new place.

i keep it at 59º overnight and 64ishº during the day.

Have infloor with concrete over top - so it is actually more practical to keep it at one temperature, so it is at 65, and if we want it up, we just turn on the propane fireplace (normally set it to 70). I also run a wood stove in the basement to heat the basement and garage.

71 degrees, but the thermostat reads a little high (according to 2 other thermometers) so I think it's really around 69 degrees. This leaves the bedroom at about 66 degrees because it's colder on the second floor. I'd keep it cooler myself, but the wife gets cold easy and won't let me turn it down any more. I need to figure out how to program it so I can reduce the temp during the day.

67 upstairs and main level. We used to keep it at 64 but with little kids that's a bit too chilly. 60 in the basement.

69-70 is the sweet spot. Even in my car that's what I have it set to.
